ATTACHMENT FOR COOKlN'G-STOVES.'

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 349,118, datedSeptember 14-, 1886.

Application filed February 8, 1886. Serial No. 191,181. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, ADILE CLAIRE PHILIPPI, of New Orleans, in the parishof Orleans and State of Louisiana, have invented a new and usefulImprovement in Attachments for Cooking-Stoves, of which the following isa specification, reference being had to the annexed drawings, forming apart thereof, in which Figure 1 is a plan view of acooking-stove towhich my attachment has been applied. Fig. 2 is a front elevation.

Similar letters of reference indicate corre-.

sponding parts in both figures of the drawings.

The object of my invention is to provide a simple andeasily-appliedattachment for supporting pots, kettle=, and other cooking utensils atthe edge of the stove-top and partly in contact therewith, forutilizing,in the operation of cooking, the heat which would otherwise belost.

My invention consists in a frame fitted to the stove top'and extendingbeyond the" sides and ends of the stove in position to form, inconjunction with the stove-top, a support for cooking-vessels. Two bars,AB, of iron or other suitable material, extend across the top of thestove, and are oifset to receive crossbars 0, which are secured to thebars A B by means of rivets or otherwise, the upper surface of the bars0 being level with the top of the stove when the attachment is inposition for use. The ends of the bars A B are returned upon themselvesto form clips (I, for engaging the edges of the stove-top and holdingthe attachment in place on the stove.

The form of the attachment will be varied to adapt it to different kindsof stoves. The bars A B will be made straight or curved, to allow themto extend over the top of the stove without interfering with theordinary use of the stove.

When it is desired to maintain the heat in articles cooked on the stove,the utensils in which they are cookedare removed from the hotter partsof the stove-top, and are placed partly upon the bars 0 and partly uponthe edges of the stove-top.

The frame formed of the bars A B and the end pieces, 0, instead of beingmade of separate pieces of wrought-iron riveted together, may be formedintegrally in a single casting; and instead of returning the ends of thebars A B upon themselves to form the clipsd,I may secure the bars to thestove-top by means of rivets o1- bolts, and for some kinds of stoves theend pieces, 0, may be connected by bars extending under the stove-top,the ends of the bars being bent upward to support the cross-pieces O inposition for use. I

For convenience in handling the utensils used in cooking, the bars A Bmay be prolonged beyond the cross-bars O, to receive other crossbars,which will support the utensils in an accessible position.

My improved attachment economizes fuel, as well as reduces theoutlay inpurchasing a stove, as a smaller-sized cooking-stove provided with theattachment will answer the purposes of a larger one, the heating-surfacebeing materially increased.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is

1. An attachment for the top of a cookingstove, consisting of bars A B,having oifsets in their ends, and the cross-bars O, secured on the saidoffset ends of the bars A B, substantially as herein shown anddescribed.

2. The combination of the longitudinal bars A B, offset at their endsand returned upon themselves to form the clips (I, and two or more bars,0, secured to the ends of the bars AB, substantially as herein shown anddescribed.
